Construction update on Marq on Main, Mixed-Use Development in Downtown Lisle

- Jan. 23, 2017

Progress on the mixed-use residential and retail development currently under construction
in Downtown Lisle should be even more evident in the coming weeks, as pre-cast columns
and walls begin to go up at the site. With much of the foundation and preliminary
site work complete, pre-cast concrete columns and panels will take the project rapidly
above ground, with second floor deck and masonry stairwells progressing.

Dubbed Marq on Main, the property includes 201 well-appointed apartment homes in
five stories on Burlington Avenue and three to four stories along Main Street, with
indoor parking for residents and tenants, as well as 35 new on-street parking spaces.
Some 14,000 square feet of new commercial space will add restaurant and retail uses
that will strengthen the commercial district, build foot traffic and enhance the Downtown
as an attractive dining destination. The development will feature a new public plaza
offering outdoor dining at Main and Burlington, as well an additional public plaza
at Spencer and Burlington, and two rooftop amenity decks along Burlington Avenue.
Completion is expected in late Fall 2017.

Marq on Main is being developed by Marquette Companies, a leader in commercial
and multifamily residential development and management across the country. The company
is headquartered in Naperville.

“We look forward to delivering these beautiful units in the third quarter
of next year. We anticipate leasing to both empty nesters and young professionals
who desire a walkable, amenity-rich urban-like lifestyle in the suburbs,” says
Nick Ryan, CEO of Marquette Companies. “We are currently managing and leasing
Courthouse Square in downtown Wheaton, and what we predicted has been confirmed there.
The market for leased residences in downtowns along the train line is strong among
both populations.”
